Seen from space: Businessman writes his name in the sand

You’ve heard of people writing their names on trees, buildings, books and underwear.

Now one wealthy businessman has carved his name into his private island — in letters so large they can be seen from space.

Sheikh Hamad bin Hamdan Al Nahyan recently had a crew inscribe his name on an island in Abu Dhabi. No, not his whole name — that might take a few extra islands. But the word “Hamad” is clearly visible in letters half a mile high and about two miles wide.

The island is also home a resort, stables and a golf course, according to Forbes.

This isn’t a first-time extravagance on the part of Hamad. For starters, he reportedly owns hundreds of cars in every color of the rainbow and a globe-shaped motor home.
